NAILING-JACK.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept., 12, IEM 6.

Application filed .Tune "l, 1915. Serial No. 32,765.

To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, ANDREW B. Gnomes, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at Antelope, in the Province of Saskatchewan, Dominion of Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Nailing-Jacks; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements 1n nailing jacks for boots and shoes.

One object of the invention is to provide a simple and novel device of this character in which the last of themjack is of such size and shape that it can be used for either the toe or heel of the shoe.

Another object is to provide an attachment for the jack which serves as an indicator so that it can be quickly and easily ascertained just where the last is located within the shoe.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing.

In the drawing: Figure 1 is a side elevation of a jack made in accordance with my invention, Fig. 2 is an edge view, Fig. 3 is a top plan view, Fig. l is an elevation of the device showing the same positioned within a shoe.

Referring particularly to the accompanying drawing, 10 represents a suitable stand to which is secured a goose-neck shaped stem 11, the upper end of which is disposed di- Gopea of this patent may be obtained for tive cents each, by addressing the rectly over the upper end of the stand. Secured to the upper end of the stem and disposed in a horizontal plane 1s an oval or elliptical-shaped disk 12. Mounted on one side of the stem is a vertical arm 13, the upper end of which carries a strip 1A, this arm being' disposed in such position that the said strip 14 will be disposed outwardly of and along the edge of the sole or heel of the shoe. It is to be observed that the lengths of the disk 12 and strip 14 are equal so that the position of the strip indicates the position of the disk. Thus, it will readily be apparent just where the disk 12 is located within the slice so that all of the nails when driven through the sole will strike the disk l2 and be clenched.

What is claimed is:

The combinationwith a lasting jack comprising a stem and a head having a length greater than its width carried by the stem; of means to indicate the position and longitudinal extent of the head when the latter is within a shoe comprising a plate having the same length as the head, and a support foll said plate arranged to hold the plate in parallel spaced relation to the head with its ends opposite the ends ofthe head, said plate being spaced sufficiently from the head to permit a shoe being placed on the head and the plate to lie outside of the shoe.

In testimony whereof, I afIiX my signature, in the presence of two witnesses.
